Description

THEIR PASSIONS WERE AS BOUNDLESS AS AMERICA IN THE MAKING

Along the banks of the Pearl River in China they live a dream called America. It is a time of terrible strife and for the promise of wealth and freedom they cross the vast Pacific on a labor ship to an unknown place called San Francisco. Thus the odyssey begins.....

San Francisco's Chinatown at the turn of the century is a place where the rich live alongside the poor, and warring Chinese Mafia families keep everyone in terror.

Their lives as strangers and immigrants are filled with hardship and prejudice, as they struggle through the first World War, Prohibition and the Depression. Still the Children of the Pearl carve out their own niches in this strange new country. They find love. They create families. They become Americans. This is their story- a vibrant multigenerational saga afire with the tumultuous Chinese-American experience.
